Gardens, libraries, museums and collections

The University’s gardens, libraries and museums are a key resource for students, scholars and the local community. Their world-renowned collections play a vital role in attracting the best students and scholars to Oxford. They are also the public face of the University. The Bodleian Libraries form the largest university library system in the United Kingdom. Our museums welcome hundreds of thousands of visitors through their doors each year, providing programmes of education and outreach for school groups and the local community.
